How Greenhouse Gases Trap Heat and Warm the Planet | Spare the Air #3648775 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration depicts Earth with a distressed expression, visibly sweating, as red arrows show infrared radiation being trapped by a layer of greenhouse gases-including carbon dioxide (orange), nitrous oxide (green), and methane (blue). The image highlights how these gases absorb and re-emit thermal energy, intensifying the natural greenhouse effect and driving climate change. Created by Sacramento Region’s Spare the Air program, it simplifies complex atmospheric science for public understanding.

Used on environmental education pages, school resources, or air quality campaign sites to explain the greenhouse effect; matches user intent for learning about climate change causes and air pollution impacts.
